He recommends the adoption ot the Cal* ifornia mining laws, and an immediate preparation for the reception of a large emigration. The bill introduced in the Senate to-day by Mr. Wilson, who is Chairman of the Military committee, amending the con* scription act of last session, says nothing at all abontthe three hundred dollar com mutation. It makes a new provision for tbe famishing of substitutes, and propo ses some alterations in regard to tbe class es to be exempted, by repealing the sec tion of the present law on that subject, and substituting another. In the present law tbe commutation and exemption clauees are dove tailed in the 13th section —thafl, without the repeal ot the latter, there WOUId r in case the Dew bill passes as framed, be two provisions on the sub jeot*t>f substitutes. Mr. Wilson having been the peculiar advocate of tbe commu tation clause at the last session, defending it from all assaults when the bill was pend* mg, it is to be presumed that be is not now prepared himself to propose its re peal, though he may expect it to be ac* compliabed by means of some of the bills or amendments introduced by others for that pnrpose. He evidently is providing for the contingency of the 13th section be ing swept away by embodying the new clause for substitutes. THE PITTSBURGH POST: SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 19, 1863. PITTSBURGH AND COSSEIMTIILE RAILROAD. The controversy in relation to the man agement of this company has attracted the attention of the Railroad and Mining Register, Philadelphia, and the editor amuses himself in the matter by copying the proceedings had at the recent annual meeting of stockholders with the following remarks: 1 ‘Taken altogether, this is the smartest thing of which we have read for a long time. And how it chanced that Benjamin H. Lateobe, esq., who for the last six years has been President of the Pittsburgh andConnellsville Bailroad Company, and who all that time has acted as the friend and ally of the Baltimore and Ohio Kail* road Company, was caught with his stock ledger unpostedi it will avail nothing now to inquire, since the penalty ol the over sight was Mr, Lateobe' B defeat, and also the loss forever of the possession of the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com pany. “That the new administration of the Pitteburgh and Connellsville Railroad Company will be able to raise funds to complete the road to the eastern base of the Allegheny mountain, is onr sincere wish: and if they extend it farther east than'»as comtemplated in the original plan, even to a connection with the Cum berland Valley Railroad, or the Bedford Railroad, or to the Susquehanna river, with a branch to the Western Maryland Railroad, they will greatly enhance the importance and value of their line. “Youghioghenycoal. like the Broad Top and Westmoreland coalß, will se*k the great markets via Harrisburg, over the routes leading thence direct to tidewater. A consolidation of the Cumberland Val ley Railroad Company with the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad Company— under the name of The South Pennsyl vania Railroad Company —would finish out two routes from Harrisburg weßt to Pitteburgh, jußt as there are now two routes from Harrisburg east to Philadel phia, with connections and facilities for reaching New York, vastly preferable to any connections which can be opened be -1 tween points on the Pittsburgh and Con nellsville Railroad and New York city via Cumberland and Baltimore. “However, it is not for us to suggest a plan but to await developments; for our faith iB strong that the geninß which con ceived and consummated the coup d'etat, of Monday laßt, in Pittsburgh, will hurry on the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Rail road to an early completion, with Harris burg continuations.’ With the Register, we hope the new administration of the Pittsburgh and Con nellsville Railroad Company will be able to complete the road ; and that soon. It is said that the last administration had control of the road six years and did noth ing toward carrying it forward to comple tion, which seems to ns a long time to ac complish Euch a result. We trust the stockholders will not allow the new ad ministration an equal period of time to ac complish nothing, but at the end of one year reqire it to vacate unless it gives good evidence of beiDg able to complete the road. We have on hand a communication rela- tiva to the controversy now goiDg on which we will publish in onr paper of Monday. Witbbnt expressing onr opin ion, we confine oarselves to endorsing onr correspondent as a gentleman greatly in terested in everything that promotes the welfare of Pittsburgh, and whoso state ments always prove correct. THE MOUNTAIN STILL IN LAIIOK The Pittsburgh Commercial is still de voting its energies to the destruction of nepotism : bnt we mast confess our in ability to precisely comprehend its mean ing. It is growing either too profound or amazingly muddy for us to precisely mea sure the pO;nt and scope of its lucubera tions. The Commercial commenced its series of essays upon nepotism, by proving that that policy hud not otfly deslroyi-d the royal family of Taiquinß, in Rome, aev eral hundred years before the Christian era, but that after that period, several hundred more, it had crushed the spiri tual aad temporal power of several Roman Pontiffs. Having settled the Tarquins and the Popes of Rome, our talented and learned cotemporary plumed itself for a flight—one destined to cleave the fiercest storm; it spread itself and showed that nepotiem bad ruined every country and system of Government established since the creation began. From this it grace fully descended to our times, and demon strated that the manner in which the Gov ernment patronage has been distriboted in this Congressional district, is an out rage, fraught with great danger to our Republican system. The article in yesterday’s Commercial is the heaviest that it has yet contained ; in&Bmach as it states that a Congressional caucus, in 1624, usurped the rights of the people in nominating Mr. Crawford for the Presidency, and that the people re pudiaied tbeir usurpation at the polls. Here is an acknowledgment that Congres sional influence is not so very potent after all. Alter this instance ofthe destruction of Congressional nepotism by the people, the Commercial informs us as follows, which we take to be the very reverse of its former teachings : “Van Bcben, Poi.e and Pierce at tempted to hold together the jarring fac tions by a free distribution ot spoils and by a series of temporary make shifts, with whet 3nccees the repudiation of their Ad ministrations by the people, sufficiently elucidates, and that “medley of imbecil ity, and treason” styled Bcchanan’s Ad ministration, is not referred to, because it is sunk by public execration beneath public contempt.” If the prostitution of the entire patron age of the Government, by the Presidents mentioned, could not savothem from con demnation by the people, we would now modestly inquire of the Commercial what it has been talking about? It began its discussion of nepotism by showing that that practice had ruined all of the Old World, and it closes by demonstrating that it is utterly unable to resist the vigilance and scrutiny of our American people, it really looks as if our neighbor did not ex actly understand its own position. This nepotism or monopoly of public patronage is bad enough, to be sure ; -but that is not “what’B the matter,” with the Commercial gentry. The trouble with “gifted minds' ’ who shine so luminously through its dazzling columns is, that they are not permitted to manage the monop oly in question ; and hence their virtuous and persistent warnings. Nepotism, as we'have&aid, is bad enough, bat naked and transparent hypocrisy \b even worse, Imagine & cast off office-holder and bant er, who has stranded f all the depths and shoals q£ in the evening of his days, after having outlived ths people's liking, setting np for a poiit- j ical moralist, merely because more dex terous rascals have pushed him lrom his etool. A ponderous, transparent and notorious demagogue of the craziest char acter, who crawled through the mazes of Kuow-Nothiugism, as if through the wind ings of eternal bell, with a damning oath upon his seared conscience to prescribe men, like hiß fa'her,—because he could not choose the place of his nativity—pra ting against nepotism or any other public vies* ia but another striking manifestation of the impudence of the ‘‘gifted mind" in question. Give such trimmers the con trol of the distribution of power and pa tronage and to what baseness would they not descend to serve their masters? Men who now cry out for the arrest of political opponents, because of a difference of po litical conviction, is not the proper person to lecture upon either the corruptions or the frailtieß of the times. Let us have no more of it; the humbug is too tranapa - rent. SOUTHERN NEWS Prom the Richmond Whig. Dec- IA The President treats at great length of our foreign relations. He discusses with boldness the conduct of England, and proves conclusively that her ‘‘strict neu trality" is one Bided, and inimical to us. He gibbets her Minister of Foreign Af- fairs as the pusillanimous instrument of our enemies, exposing his base subterfu ges, his unblushing disregard of treaty stipulations, and the ungenerous advanta ges taken of our prssent situation. The un friendly action of the British Administration is proved strongly, perhaps, unfortunately, too strongly. He shows that Lord John Russell is decidedly hostile to ns. The tendency of this information, so presented, is to discourage our people. Argument on this line, too, tends to Booth the antagonism oi the North toward Great Britain, for so well sustained an ac cusation of the English ministry by the Confederate States, ia the acquittal of England by the North. Just doubts may be entertained if they are the true expo nents ot the majority of intelligent En glishmen, or even of Parliament. What policy does the President disclose in our foreign relations? bat efforts have been made to conciliate foreign na tions V Two measures in retaliation for their broken faith were suggested, but de precated on moral grounds. We wish favors from foreign nations. Can we reasonably them to be offered gratuitously to’ub, or even upon merely signifyirg a deeire for them? .Sentiment may influence the action of men. Interest only influences the action of nations. On the mere plausibility of our claim to be recognized. European nations promptly accorded to us the position of belligere nte though the sentiment ot Europe was ad f verse to us because ot onr peculiar insti tutions. Why 1 4 the at'i!ucie of Karopean Pow ers, Rowland ea ( ecially, now inimical to us'.' Because the superior diplomacy ot the United States has made it appear that it is to their interest to be so. What the argument or the inducement offered time wilt disclose: but it has been cfhca- cions to the extent of securing to her a full privilege to obtain men, munitions and credit to an unlimited extent. Per haps the reckoning is anticipated at our expeose. It looks so. They have no resources of their own to meet it. We have, though each day of the continuance of the war is deepening the embarrassment that overlies, if not se rious!. - exhausting them. Let us theD confer on our presentcommistjionerp,or new ones, plenary powers to confer with Yan kee diplomatists. The House, at a former aeseion, passed a resolution looking for ward to tuch action. Remove the restric tions under which our commissioners have been acting. Let them not appeal simply as the representatives of a just cause, and an oppressed people, but as the represen tatives of a brave, united, powerful, and unconquerable people, whose policy is ppace, possessing almost boundless terri tory, vast wealth, and incalculable re sources. A judicion- r?s~rt to the almost inimi able ayaiem of Yankee diplomacy canDOt fail to speedily reverse the one Bided neu trality to which we are now so much the victim. Nor even now is it to be dee- paired of that a pimilar policy toward our neighbors and neutral allies, ofthe North* west will be productive of good results. It sec-mri that the President did not an ticipate war. It is strange that he should not have done so, at least, when he ordered Gen. Beauregard to open on Sam ter. Perhaps the country at large may be charged with the same want of foresight. Congress at least, dons not appear to have tor. seen it from the provisions it made. But the Constitution of the Pro visional Government prohibited any ex penditure- c! mcnc-y, except on estimates sent in by a department. Heoce, it tbe proper expenditures were not made, the fault must rest on th i Administration. Yet war eeems not to have been antici pated. Largtr appropriations, and a mere comprehensive financial system would of course been entered upon. It was only during the second session of the Provisional Congress that war was de clared to exi6t between the Confederacy and the United States. Many excellent suggestions are made for maintaining the efficiency of the army. We have heretofore expressed our views upon the repeal of th 1 substitute law, and the bringing of exempts into service. Ev ery man within the present military age should be put in the service who is not more profitably employed cut of it. Congress should act cautiously in ex tending that age, or in passing a sweeping conscription, and providing that those more nsefnl to the material and political interests of the country, be exempted by a “detail.” We remonstrate against this proceeding as an infringement of the con stitutional duty of the Representative branch to “raise armies,” which we un derstand to mean armieß for the field; and as placing an arbitrary power in tbe hands of creatures of the Executive liable to the most corrupting and dangerous abuse.
